A poet's reaction to the news media.
Life’s Lesson
Life’s tides can bring both joy and pain,
soul, skill and wit all wax and wane.
At ebb you must repair and bear,
at flow new heights you can attain.
Memorial Day
Those who have died to stem the tide
of foes who would destroy our land.
Each May their souls are glorified
and praised for their historic stand.
Celebrations fill the country,
but if you can’t attend,
remember that they kept us free,
and all our veterans befriend.
Health Salesmen
When salesmen on the Internet
want you to hear health food or pill.
Oft seem like hours to regret
that simple speech became molehill.
{I’ve waited for that speech to end,
yet always quit to let peace wend.}
Trump Lies {Satori}
Amendment I
O’er thirty thousand lies he told
when Trump talked to his base.
Deny him from Amendment I ...
for Trump free speech erase.
Scams
All scammers deeds are illicit,
defrauding is their goal.
For a call, or any visit...
know them, or just tell them to “Go!”
Computer Pop-up Ads
I was working on my poem this day
when an advertisement interrupted.
They thought that they should have their say,
and fury in me erupted.
This deed has happened many times,
and it always leaves me angry
I note the fools who do the crimes
and vow they’ll get just scowls from me.
Truth
My rhymes attack Amendment I
I’ll write far more before I’m done.
Words contained in prose or free speech
must never lie nor the truth breach.
